As the Demon Eye answered respectfully, an elliptical light gate composed of gray light waves slowly emerged not far in front of Qin Xiaoxia.
You can feel the magic power of the Demon Eye rising like a tsunami in every corner within your sight.
"Sage, the magic mirror of Lobelica is not yet completely stable. I must always maintain the magic to reinforce the mirror surface. After your students go there, it is best to hide the magic mirror to avoid attracting other magical creatures."
The Aknison are the native species of Lobelika, where the Chamber of Commerce is located.
This was the second time that Hamamapi had seen the Demonic Eye of Nothingness. This level of terrifying magical creature was already at the legendary level, and in some stories it could even be ranked as a demon god.
But it is the "Eye of Dawn". The foundation of the association is far more terrifying than anyone can see, but such a solid backing also brings him endless confidence.
After hearing what the Demon Eye said, before the mentor could speak, Hamapi immediately expressed his opinion.
"Master Demon Eye, please rest assured. If something terrifying were to stare at the magic mirror, I would immediately break it even if I had to risk my life!"
After saying this, Aksen clearly felt the huge eyes in the distance, whose gaze stayed on him for two seconds, and then looked at the Sage.
"If you encounter force majeure, escape into the magic mirror!"
With just this one sentence, the Demon Eye responded to what Aksen had just said, and it also clearly felt that the Sage had a smile on his face, just as it expected.
Yes, that’s fine. Demon Eye would actually take the initiative to flatter him. Besides, it can also improve the safety of his students. What reason does Qin Xiaoxia have not to smile?
The obviously nervous Transparent-Eared Monster walked to the gray mirror. Qin Xiaoxia first took out the Endless Abyss and poked it gently with the sharp handle of the long whip.
There was a strong resistance, and at the same time a slight creaking sound of pressure pressing on the glass surface, forcing him to stop trying immediately.
As the Demon Eye tried its best to maintain its function in a hurry, the vibrations and aftermath of magic power continued. After a while, the gray mirror finally calmed down.
This attempt should have consumed a lot of magic power of the Magic Eye, but Qin Xiaoxia did not receive any complaints from the other party.
Attention was focused back on Hammerhide.
"Take this step and you will bear the consequences of the rain or shine alone."
“You must remember that your hometown may be old and dirty, but it is the land that gave birth to you. There is no hope for a person or a race that forgets its roots.”
“When a tribe is dispersed and its roots are cut off, even if there are still remnants of the species, they have already lost their souls.”
"Remember, there are many ignorant people, some have a conscience and some are terminally ill. They will always exist. You can't save everyone. Heroes also need to do what they can. Redemption cannot be achieved overnight. The result is always more important than the process!"
Sometimes the mentor would say some profound words for no apparent reason, and his students, Aksen, would sometimes seem to understand but not quite. But at this moment, Hamapi clearly understood the meaning from the mentor's eyes and words.
This not only contains valuable advice to guide me on my way forward, but also contains the mentor's deep concern.
Not knowing how to respond, Hamapi just nodded continuously, feeling hot in his eyes.
Qin Xiaoxia smiled. Although he was speaking a serious principle, he sounded a little sentimental without realizing it.
"This is the last lesson I have to teach you before you leave. Bravery is relative. It is more of a choice than an emotion."
“Fear is not terrible, nor is it shameful. There is no need to doubt your determination because of it. It just proves your prudence.”
Push him forward.
"Go ahead and don't look back. As my student, please don't embarrass me or Shuguang!"
The magic power in the body of the Transparent-Eared Monster surged repeatedly, and his little fists were clenched tightly. He knew that his mentor was watching him and that the Magic Eye was paying attention to him.
'Fear is not shameful! Fear is not shameful! Fear is not terrible, not terrible!'
Trying his best to suppress the urge to turn around and look back, he took a resolute step forward and disappeared into the grey mirror.
"Good boy, you didn't even look back!"
With a smile on his face, no matter what Qin Xiaoxia's original intention was, at this moment he could announce without any guilt that he had trained a hero of Aksen.
Overall, it’s a very fulfilling experience.
Even though the situation in the fantasy world is different, referring to history, this trip is destined to be a long and bumpy road. Perhaps this may be the last time I see this student.
…
The world of Lobelica, also called the Realm of Passage by Aksen, is not as well-known as those famous worlds, but at least people can remember it.
In contrast, the Aksen, a race famous for their trade, have established a place in this world.
A few minutes ago, when the handle of the Endless Abyss touched the gray light.
In a circular stone building in an Aksen village in the wilderness, the only valuable crystal mirror in the room suddenly vibrated violently.
"Boom~~"
The entire stone house was shaking, and even the ground was shaking slightly.
The only old Aknesen in the room fled out in panic. Not every Aknesen can awaken magic power, and even if they can, the awakening is usually weak. In history, there are not many who can complete the elfization of body and soul, and this old Aknesen is obviously just an ordinary individual.
After the vibration subsided and disappeared, it was a long time later that the old Aksen carefully returned to the house again, ready to examine the mirror again.
But the first thing you see is a hand, followed by the head and the whole body.
Hammer stepped out of the mirror.
He met a pair of cloudy eyes directly.
After being stunned for a moment, he turned around to look at the mirror that had turned into a magic mirror, took it directly, lifted up his silk lining and velvet jacket, and stuffed it into the pocket of his close-fitting Chamber of Commerce vest.
"No, please, Mr. Merchant, this is the only valuable thing I have, please don't take it!"
The sharp Aksen native language rang out, which Hamapi hadn't heard for a long time.
Stone houses like this are most common in some villages in Aksen, and they overlap somewhat with my vague memories of my childhood.
"I will pay you something of equal value. What do you need? Food? Gems?"
"FOOD!! I NEED FOOD!!"
The old Aksen immediately changed his words.
There was limited space in the small pocket of the vest, so naturally one would not put too much available resources like food in it. Hamamapi took out a few packets of compressed biscuits from inside.
The concept of packaging bags was not unfamiliar to Aksen, and he immediately tore them open and chewed and swallowed them frantically.
This is a female individual. Although she looks very old, she may not be older than Hammama.
After returning to Lobelica, the uneasy feeling in my heart gradually disappeared. I walked out of the stone house, jumped onto the roof in a few jumps, and then jumped to the highest point in the village.
The whole picture of the village appeared before our eyes. The village was huge, but dilapidated, backward, and dirty, with few people and little vitality.
Occasionally there would be some laughter, which was because there were children in the village who might have magical talents.
But Hamapi understood that once such children got out, even if they did not die in the cruel competition, they would never come back here again. He himself was once an example of this.
Even the laughter in those families was rarely for the joy of their children, because sending such a child to a Chamber of Commerce school could bring a lot of wealth.
Hamapi had never thought about these things before, but now he feels more and more abnormal.
How miserable Aksen was because he failed to awaken his magic power and became a businessman, and how pathetic he was after awakening his magic power and becoming a businessman. This also gave Hamapi a glimpse of how miserable he was.
After a brief sigh and making sure the surroundings were safe, he began the most important attempt since his return.
The magic mirror is right beside me, a faint power connecting me, and the floating dream worms in the spiritual world create a trance dream.
After trying hard to concentrate, Hamapi finally saw the smiling figure of his mentor in this dream.
I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!
This special pair of twin dream lazy bugs are not only many times larger than their peers, but their magical dream linkage ability may also be unprecedented.
As long as the magic mirror is not broken, and maintained by the power of the magic eye, Hamamapi's connection with the earth will not be completely severed by the power of the world. With the wisdom of the mentor to provide support from time to time, Hamamapi has enough confidence.
With an ordinary person like Aksen, he was full after swallowing two high-calorie compressed biscuits. When he looked up, the businessman who suddenly appeared was gone, leaving only an exquisite jewel ring on the ground.
…
In Fortune City, the capital of chambers of commerce, the Business Achievement Conference will begin soon.
A man named Aksen, dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, walked into the Chamber of Commerce Center.
The clothes are tailor-made with heavenly silk lining, which is produced by silkworms fed with enchanted mulberry trees and is crystal clear and shiny. The velvet of the coat is interspersed with shiny gold threads, which is high-profile and luxurious. The excellent tailor combines beauty and luxury into one.
On her chest were several brooches inlaid with various gemstones, and her hands were covered with exquisite rings, many of which emitted faint magical fluctuations.
"The first step is to show your presence. In your tribe, the best way to show yourself is to wear your strength on your body!"
During a recent exchange, the mentor’s teachings still echo in my spiritual world.
This kind of outfit can only be described as "blinding" on Earth, but Aksen just loves it.
In front of the recording table in the Chamber of Commerce Center, one could occasionally see merchants rushing back. Naturally, there were discordant scenes in the snobbish Chamber of Commerce. As soon as Hamapi approached, he heard the cursing inside.
"Get lost, you poor bastard. You are overdue. Hand over your merchant vest. You are expelled from the Chamber of Commerce."
An Aknisen merchant was knocked to the ground by the receptionist of the Chamber of Commerce in the collision of magic.
"Asshole, I've already paid my dues, and now you're telling me I'm expelled!"
"Because you probably won't be able to pay it next time!"
Two beast slave guards, more than two meters tall, stepped forward and forcibly took off the man's vest.
At this moment, the receptionist saw Hamapi, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"You must be a great businessman! Welcome back!"
"Haha, I can't say I'm outstanding, but I've made a lot of money. Oh, and by the way, because of the last business, I seem to have overdue dues."
"Hahaha, you don't need to care about such a small matter. How can it delay your making money?"
After seeing Hamamapi take out a magic crystal, the receptionist's smile almost broke.
"I think what you said makes sense, so I'd better pay all my future dues at once to avoid forgetting."
Not only the receptionist, but also the registrar behind the counter were breathing rapidly. This magic crystal was enough to pay for ten lifetimes of membership dues.
This kind of treasure is extremely useful and no one is willing to trade it, so even Aksen rarely sees it.
"No need for so much, uh, this is too..."
The manager who took the crystal as if he was snatching it but still pretended to be reserved, and the loser who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, both reminded Hamapi of his past self.
"It's okay. One of my many trading partners has his own crystal mine. This kind of thing is not difficult for me to see. This crystal should be enough to pay for this gentleman as well."
"How generous of you!"
The receptionist laughed so hard that his heart was twitching, not only because of this he could get a huge reward, but also because of the huge amount of information implied behind the conversation.
With one throw of the magic crystal, his level and ranking on the list were instantly raised to the front. Whether it was his dress and manners, or his rich knowledge and untraceable wealth, he was undoubtedly another rising legend in the business world.
According to Aksen's calendar, he has only been in business for more than 20 years, but has achieved extraordinary success.
The Chamber of Commerce's temporary accommodation room was constantly visited by Chamber of Commerce personnel who came to visit.
Every visiting businessman, regardless of his status or wealth, will be received by Hamapi for a long time, and those who leave usually benefit a lot.
Similarly, Hamapi never refused any request for "fundraising" in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.
For such a sucker, the Chamber of Commerce naturally has to tie up the interests well. After passing the mind control test, racial bloodline test, etc., Hamapi's status in the Chamber of Commerce rose again and again in a short period of time. In Aksen, where everything is based on money, this is a very normal thing.
In the eyes of some senior businessmen, this is also a transaction, a transaction of money and status. A successful businessman will not do business at a loss.
Honorary member, Chamber of Commerce member, Economic Arbitration Council judge, Outstanding Businessman of the Century... the halos fell one by one, and the process of demonstrating one's presence was easy and smooth, yet so sad.
In my dreams late at night, the mentor was still sitting by the fireplace where he used to be. The dim and warm light from the firewood made his back look extremely tall.
Hamapi sat opposite him as he always did when he listened to his teachings.
"The second step is to overturn the concept. The deep-rooted ideological disease is the root cause. It is not easy to break it, but you have to understand that it is desire that controls the ideological disease, and desire is a sublimation of emotion. What counters emotion is naturally emotion."
The instructor's fingers tapped the armrest of the sofa.
"Aknessen's social system determines that those at the bottom are weak and short-sighted, while those at the top are greedy and incorruptible. The young middle class who can awaken their magic power by leveraging their emotions is the intervention point."
"Teacher, which emotion should I pry into?"
"Haha, the thing that young people are most likely to explode with is naturally 'anger'."
